Winter makes me think of root veggies: butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, parsnips, suede, celeriac. It’s the time of year I want to turn my oven on and fill up the whole house with the warmth and toasty smell as the vegetables caramelize slowly. However, roasting veggies can take way too long when I get […]

If you’ve been following me over on Twitter, you may have noticed that I wrote a series about Crossfit for Skiers on Ski Magazines site. The comments section is a continuous debate about the pros and cons of Crossfit, and the ability to use Crossfit to train specifically for skiing. It got me thinking about […]

I made Brussel sprouts last night, and Thursday night, and last Sunday. And its not because they are the least expensive vegetable on the shelf. They are just too delicious to ignore. Now before you start calling me weird, think about the last time you had Brussel sprouts. Were you 10 and forcing them down […]

Finally, it snowed in the wasatch. I haven’t even looked at snow totals yet, quite frankly, I don’t even care. I’m just happy that is finally snowed! The only bad thing is that we’re currently sitting in the red snake trying to get up llc. The good news? I’ve got great company…. And the sun […]

Jamon loves okra. The first time I ever tried it was in Vegas last year, it was only an appetizer, but at first bite I knew that I could just eat a bowl of it and be happy. O man. It was so yummy. We licked the plate clean. Since then, I’ve been on the […]

I woke up this morning tired, sad, and stuffy. What I really wanted was my mum to make me eggs and soldiers, but since that is hardly whole30 compliant, and I’m a little low on veggies varieties I made this: What are eggs and soldiers I hear you ask? Does you spoon make airplane […]

One snowy April day, Angeli, Hennie, Giray and I shuffled up Catherine’s Pass for a little storm shooting. It was hilarious. Not only did I fully shave all the branches off a pine tree attempting to “tap” it, we also crashed, swam, and swallowed the deep fluffy snow. This season, I’ve almost forgot what it […]

I love experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s a slow, multi-step process; a dance through the silence of my house, no music, no tv, no roommate. I can revel in the stillness and silence. My only company is the chop, chop, chop of my knife, the bubble of the pot, the sizzle of onions carmelizing […]

Sometimes it feels like all the sadness is compressed into one tiny instant. One space. Even your tears can’t fit. Only nausea, shock; a squeezing choking feeling that starts in your stomach and moves its way up. It’s been 5 years since Asher passed, and yet the shocking, choking feeling can still hit. It’s less […]

I don’t even know what we were laughing about but the feeling lingered and I thought, “when was the last time I laughed that hard?”. Laughter used to be synonymous with life. But the last couple years, I don’ t think I laugh as often or as hard as I used to. It made me […]
